Fifty-two readings to spark weekly group discussion on putting
Jesus' most central teachings into practice. Jesus' most famous
teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, possesses an irresistible
quality. Who hasn't felt stirred and unsettled after reading these
words, which get to the root of the human condition? This follow-up
to the acclaimed collection Called to Community: The Life Jesus
Wants for His People taps an even broader array of sources,
bringing together prophetic voices from every era and a range of
traditions to consider the repercussions of these essential words.
More than a commentary or devotional, this book is designed to be
read together with others, to inspire communities of faith to
discuss what it might look like to put Jesus' teachings into
practice today.
Dealt with herein are the diverse forces which act on us,
determining the course of events, influencing our thoughts,
feelings and actions, affecting our moods, health and level of
energy, pulling the human being to nether depths or beckoning him
towards lofty heights. Also shown are the hidden forces behind
evolution and the universal action.

God on TV is a new series of small-group courses to help churches
engage people in Bible study and theological reflection on moral
and ethical themes. Each book uses some of the themes raised by a
popular television series as a springboard for group discussion,
prayer and Lectio Divina Bible reading. It is not essential for
group members to have seen the television programme, but it will
provide useful food for thought for those that have. Over six
weeks, the course presented in All of Life will explore themes of
Liturgy and Prayer, Disability, Attitudes to and Experiences of
Black and Minority Ethnic People, Attitudes to and Experiences of
LGBTQ People, Vocation and Calling, and Celebrations and Community.
Each week will begin with a description of a key scene from Call
the Midwife, consideration of a discussion on the theme by an
appropriate Christian writer, then a Bible study including prayer,
reflection and Bible study. Contributors include George Guiver
(priest and member of the Community of the Resurrection at
Mirfield), Katie Tupling (priest and campaigner for full inclusion
of disabled people in the church), Chine McDonald (PR lead for
Christian Aid, Thought for the Day broadcaster), Claire Jones
(deacon in the Church of England) and Frances Wilson (former nun,
now a priest and Director of Ordinands for Lichfield Diocese).
In essence, evolution is the progressive emergence of higher levels
of consciousness. With the appearance of man, evolution has become
an increasingly more conscious and accelerated process, in contrast
to the pre-human stages. Inner growth is the rapid process of
conscious evolution.
In this groundbreaking book, Arnold, a pastor for over forty years,
provides fresh biblical insights into critical issues including the
sacredness of sex, the struggle against temptation, the decision to
remain single or to marry, child rearing, homosexuality, divorce
and remarriage. Sex, God, and Marriage offers healing to anyone who
has known discouragement or failure - and hope to anyone who is
willing to take a bold new look at a topic of universal interest
and concern. Unlike the vast majority of marriage books, Sex, God,
and Marriage digs deeper than the usual issues and goes to the
root: our relationship with God, and the defining power of that
relationship over all others in our lives.
This prayer book strives to instill in young Catholics not only a
love of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist but also a love of prayer
and a practical knowledge of the art of meditation.
As examples of the many ways to pray, this book contains prayers
to pray out loud (vocal prayer) or in the silence of your heart. It
shows how you can talk with God, and more importantly, how you can
love God. It shows how to use pictures and images-like holy cards
and the Stations of the Cross-to help you pray and meditate. This
book also shows you how to use Bible stories to meditate on the
lessons Jesus taught. You will see how you can talk with God
silently in the quiet of your room, in church, outdoors in His
wonderful creation-at all times, in all places.
As you progress through this book-from discovering what prayer
is to reading and reciting simple prayers to understanding
meditation and then to helps for deeper meditation-you will see
that prayer and meditation often go together. Meditation is
described by the big "Catechism of the Catholic Church "as nothing
more than "prayerful reflection" or holy thinking. You can use
books, devotions, pictures, holy cards, and images (such as the
stained glass windows in church) to help you think or meditate on
holy people, events, and ideas.
This book gives many suggestions about how to talk with God so
that each day you can love Him more and become closer friends.
Learn to hear His loving voice and follow His holy will.
